Cleveland Clinic has created a series of Outcomes books similar to this one for its clinical institutes. Designed for a physician audience, the Outcomes books contain a summary of many of our surgical and medical treatments, with a focus on outcomes data and a review of new technologies and innovations. The Outcomes books are not a comprehensive analysis of all treatments provided at Cleveland Clinic, and omission of a particular treatment does not necessarily mean we do not offer that treatment. When there are no recognized clinical outcome measures for a specific treatment, we may report process measures associated with improved outcomes. When process measures are unavailable, we may report volume measures; a relationship has been demonstrated between volume and improved outcomes for many treatments, particularly those involving surgical and

Background: Although surgical treatment of residual obstruction after alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is often challenging in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (OHCM) there are very few relevant clinical reports. Thus, outcomes of surgical septal myectomy (SSM) in this subgroup of patients remain to be determined.

The strength of our cardiology, interventional cardiology, and cardiac surgery programs is derived from the exceptional clinical, scientic, and educational resources made possible by the partnership of NewYork-Presbyterian, Columbia University Medical Center, and Weill Cornell Medicine. These programs are among the largest and most comprehensive in the nation, bringing together faculty that have made transformative contributions to their specialties – from adult congenital heart disease to advanced heart failure and complex valve disease. Our patients benet from exceptional heart teams, whose multispecialty members provide Dr. Steven J. Corwin collaborative and integrated care that optimizes their outcomes. Our physicians treat the most challenging cases, applying expertise that crosses and often combines the skills of cardiologists, interventionalists, and surgeons to meet the unique needs of each patient. This collegiality is a hallmark of our cardiology and heart surgery programs and a key factor in being ranked #1 in New York State for the past 17 years and #3 in the nation since 2013 by U.S.News & World Report.

  • Echocardiographic Findings Late After Myectomy in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 1986 Echocardiographic findings late after myectomy in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy Turina, J ; Jenni, R ; Krayenbuehl, H P ; Turina, M ; Rothlin, M Abstract: Postoperative echocardiograms of 50 patients undergoing myectomy for hypertrophic obstruc- tive cardiomyopathy between 1965 and 1982 have been evaluated. In 21 patients a comparison with preoperative echocardiograms showed that postoperatively there was a significant reduction of septal and free wall thickness, an increase of left ventricular end-diastolic as well as outflow tract dimensions and a reduction or disappearance of systolic anterior motion of the mitral leaflet. Postoperative examination at intervals > 3 years revealed a significant increase of left ventricular and left atrial cavity size with unchanged contractile parameters and little reduction of left ventricular hypertrophy. In 4of 12 patients evaluated > 8 years after myectomy, left ventricular dilatation was observed and 3 of these 4 patients developed congestive heart failure. Development of leftventricular dilatation was independent of whether a transventricular and/or transaortic approach was used for myectomy. These data indicate that the late course after myectomy in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy may be complicated by dilatation of the left ventricular cavity DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.eurheartj.a062123 Posted at the Zurich Open Repository and Archive, University of Zurich ZORA URL: https://doi.org/10.5167/uzh-154113 Journal Article Published Version Originally published at: Turina, J; Jenni, R; Krayenbuehl, H P; Turina, M; Rothlin, M (1986).
